Ephesians 4: So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, I. We cannot merely drift along with culture

Futile thinking Darkened understanding Separated from God Ignorance Hardened heart Insensitive Driven by sensuality Lack of boundaries Unsatisfied lust Ephesians 4: So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.

Romans 12:2a Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world… NIV And be not conformed to this world… KJV Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking… The Message Don’t let the world squeeze you into its mould Phillips

Ephesians 4: You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. II Following Jesus is a Radical New way of life

Ephesians 4:17-24 Following Culture or Following Christ ?

Ephesians 4: So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. 20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
